Being a superfood junkie, as I am, you know that I am all over the berries when they start showing their sweet, shiny curves at the market. Locally grown, seasonal, and delicious superfoods are as sexy to me as a man in bottom delighting jeans, a just small enough white t-shirt just and flip flops. I’ll take a heaping serving of both, thank you very much.
Dinner on Sunday is the way we go with my family and I am usually pooped out come Sunday night as my Sunday is like most people’s Wednesday in my work week and I am often put in charge of one dish or another. When, after a particularly hectic day, my momma declared “Meghan, you are in charge of dessert”, I did that thing that parents the world over hate that their kids do. I walked into my parents kitchen, opened the fridge, stared in and waited for a pile of ingredients to dance their merry dance together and proclaim themselves the perfect combination of things to make the perfect thing with.
Episode: 7Title: Crystals Really Do More Than SparkleGuest: Elana Millman, Wellness Practitioner and Aromatherapy EducatorSummary: Elana Millman has made me float before. Okay- not really off the ground but I sure felt it. In this conversation, I ask Elana to explain how crystals can actually used for healing. Elana explains scientifically how they work, and even more, how they heal energetically. She is the real deal and these rocks truly are magic.
As you know (you better know!), I have a Healing with Superfoods workshop coming up on Sunday. Sad to say but it is my very last workshop until the fall and there are only a child’s size handful of spots left. Sarah, over at That’s Fit wanted the inside scoop on how we, over here at Making Love In The Kitchen, feel about our superfoods. With the help of my delightful comrade and nutritionista Cara Rice, we told her!
Is there really anything better than cake for breakfast? Not too long ago, I was hosting a private cooking class for a deliciously delightful family. I had sent over the proposed menu for the meal, and received a reply back requesting we have muffins for dessert.
Last year at the National Holistic Nutrition Conference I had the opportunity to chill with the silver fox himself, Elson Hass. Now if Elson Haas is a silver fox, than Dr. Michael Murray is just a fox. Seriously. He is one handsome and healthy man. My guess was that he rang in at around 42. I was a full decade off. Now I don’t tell you this to undermine his credibility. If anyone deserves the utmost credibility in the field of natural medicine it is Dr. Michael Murray. It is simply a whole lot easier to follow the health advice of healthy looking people and he embodies this supremely. Having scientific data to back up his claims is simply low-glycemic icing on that protein-rich cake.
Kale chips are kinda gearing towards the crack of healthy food addicts. Is that terribly un-PC to say? I’m over it. These crispy, crunchy, light and tasty flavour absorbers are just so gosh-darnitt delicious that when I started experimenting with them, well, I just couldn’t stop. You know how that song goes? Right? I believe I must use the stylings of Depeche Mode to truly describe how I feel…

You know I love smoothies. I love smoothies to bits. They are my fave go-to fast food meals and I always feel fantastic after. This however wasn’t always the case. I was sick for several years with digestive challenges and during this time, smoothies weren’t always my friend.
Recently I biked home with a cabbage hanging from my handle bars (don’t try this at home). I participated in this risky behavior because I knew the reward would be well worth it……a bundle of cruciferous healthful goodness.
So what’s your favourite snotty food? An awful question to be sure but you know I go crazy for Okra and a chunk of aloe in my morning smoothie makes everything run, well, smoothly. It’s the slime factor. Ever blend up chia seeds? How about simmer some flax seed tea or even soak flax seeds overnight to make a raw tortilla? How about slippery elm lozenges for a sore throat? The snotty foods abound!
